Perhaps it’s the optimist in us,†‬but the last trailer we saw for the return of John McClane in A Good Day To Die Hard looked really quite promising.†‬
Clearly,†‬Die Hard†‬5†‬is about as far removed from the one man against some people in a building setup of the first film.†‬This time,†‬it’s John McClane and son,†‬saving the entire world while sojourning Moscow.â€
There are lots of reasons to be wary,†‬not least the decision to appoint John Moore to direct.†‬Moore has his moments,†‬but his finest film perhaps remains Behind Enemy Lines,†‬and that in itself wasn’t too much to get excited about.†‬His Max Payne movie still makes us shudder.
But then,†‬Die Hard†‬4.0†‬turned out fine†(‬thought it’s best not to consider it a Die Hard movieâ€)‬,†‬and the appointment of Len Wiseman to direct that was widely questioned.†‬Turns out,†‬he did a decent job,†‬and John Moore may yet surprise a few people.
Finally,†‬there’s Bruce Willis,†‬in his most iconic screen role.†‬A Good Day To Die Hard firmly rests on his shoulders,†‬and if he can deliver,†‬then Valentine’s Day†‬2013†– ‬for that’s when it’s out†– ‬might turn out to be really rather fun.
